Domaine La Ferme Saint-Martin, Les Terres Jaunes, Beaumes de Venice, 2017

Made from hand-harvested grapes grown among the Dentelles de Montmirail at 250m-500m altitude. Has an immediate sense of purity and freshness, with fine, ripe and grippy tannins. This exhibits some thoughtful winemaking, with character and finesse. The weight and concentration are matched by energy and freshness, and it leads to a surprisingly long finish. Slightly reductive aromas on the nose on opening, so decant for an hour.
